I would like to announce that a new group/organization has formed and will be coming to California very soon. We will be opening membership in March and will be having our first meeting in April. We have a lot of educational programs, presentations and more lined up.

I acquired the group this year along with a herd of Hermans and Greek Tortoises. I bought a individual out. He was getting out of the hobby. I keep tossing back and forth what I want to do. I want to breed and keep them, but then again, I cant find mates for them so I want to get them in a...
Hi Everyone,
I thought I would share some of my pics of the Burmese Mountain Brown and Black Tortoises that I acquired this past year. I have 3 large Brown Males, 1 Large Brown/Black hybrid and 1 Larger Black Female. My Males are 15, 16-1/2", 17 and 18" in Plastron Length. My Female Black...
The Tortoise Home has a handful of Turtles/Tortoises for adoption. We will not ship any turtles or tortoises except Snappers.

I run several ads on Craiglist to not only promote the adoptions but to also promote our Facebook page. Yes... we have taken in over 200 in one year and right now average about 100 as we moved and many people don't want to travel to our new location. We have been referring them to other...
Thanks. I do this out of personal income so shipping large females could get expensive. I tend not to ship animals anyways due to the stress it puts on them. But thanks for the offer.
Hi,
I have several Red Ear Slider Aquatic Turtles that are adults looking for homes in outdoor ponds. Most of them are females so they are quite large.
We do help out with adoptions/rescues /relocations for anyone needing assistance.

Hi Everyone,
Update on the 20 Sulcata's
Thank you to all the groups, organizations and those individuals who have spread the word. I literally had over 100 emails of people wanting them. Some good and some not. If you havent gotten a response from me, I wiill be getting to all of them...
Yes I have, but....I technically cant use them without people authorizing the use of them so it is easier for me to put this request out rather than replying to each and every thread.
In the next month or couple months, I am going to be putting together a page on my website, www.tortoisehome.org with pictures of aquatic habitats and land turtle/tortoise habitats to help others see what they can do to their own to better thier habitats or add more features. With this, I need...
I know this is a tortoise forum, but many of us have aquatic turtles too. I am looking for basic pictures of aquatic setups and "secrets" of setting up successful filtrations and basking spots.
I am trying to put together an article for my personal newsletter i publish to over 1500+...
Just wanted to reach out to all my Tortosieforum friends that I have a new website. It is still growing and changes daily. I have linked several of my favorite websites to it and I publish a bi-monthly newsletter that promotes education and conservation everywhere.
I am always looking...
Updated News:
I was in contact with some of the CTTC staff. Many of the sliders were sent out to people who could help. Many of the chapters and other organizations throughout the US have helped with the situation and everything should be good. No animals were put down. Due to the...
